Low FODMAP Sparkling Coffee Maple Agua Fresca

This drink is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever paid for fancy coffee beverages in the first place. A homemade cold brew concentrate forms the backbone — rich, smooth, and deeply caffeinated — then it gets brightened with fresh lime juice, a touch of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt that somehow ties everything together. The whole mixture gets topped off with chilled sparkling water for a fizzy, refreshing finish that feels festive without being fussy. Each serving uses just one tablespoon of maple syrup, which keeps it well within comfortable thresholds for anyone managing a sensitive gut. Coffee, lime, and sparkling water are all naturally easy on digestion, so there's no ingredient-swapping or second-guessing required here. It makes four glasses, which means it's just as good for a quiet morning as it is for a little weekend brunch spread. Make the cold brew overnight and the rest comes together in minutes.
